God In Creation: The God Who Speaks
I believe it’s rare to find anything as intimate as hearing someone speak to you. I am not talking about phone calls. Useful though they are. It’s being in the company of someone expressing their heart in the words they say. Some experts suggest the actual words used are not as memorable as other communication […]

It wasn’t that long ago when the ways of communicating were fairly limited. Face to face, telephone call and a letter. Perhaps those were your options. Sure there was a telegram, but that was for the posh folks. There was also the fax which again was reserved for those considerably richer than me. Usually those […]

This often worked on me girls, sometimes when I’ve said something I regret, I wish it worked for me! Of course I wouldn’t dare suggest others should us it before they blog/preach/moan/annoy/irritate/aggravate/misinform/deceive/lie or anything of that nature. I wouldn’t suggest that at all. Would I.

This is an episode in how I let excitement overtake me and actually forget to read the thing properly. I was reminded about it when I watched a clip of a preacher on his ‘preachy vibe’. (You know the one where he wishes he had a church in here and he doesn’t hear anyone but […]
